In fairness to Mr. Hubie I should clarify, with the massive volumes of milk being processed each day Pasteurization is not a bad idea, that said milk produced in smaller quantities with care taken to prevent contamination has benefits that pasteurized milk does not have.
I can't drink processed milk without indigestion and bad gas because raw milk has beneficial bacteria's and enzymes that aid in digestion especially for older people, processing the milk kills these natural compounds.

The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.

You have a President that attacks the heavy spending and big deficits of his predecessor, but encouraged budgets that had triple the deficits ever seen in American history.

Fairness in paying taxes means the amount you pay is based on the amount you make, then the only group in America paying at least a "fair share" is the top 20%. Theirs has gone up over the last 30 years, while the share of taxes paid by everyone else has gone down.

The sitting Democrat President's best strategy is only appealing to liberals, yet the majority of the nation is conservative/moderate.

Children raised by a single mothers commit 72 percent of juvenile murders, 60 percent of rapes, have 70 percent of teenaged births, commit 70 percent of suicides and are 70 percent of high school dropouts.

57 percent of all immigrant households get cash, Medicaid, housing or food benefits from the government — compared with 39 percent of native households. The highest rates are for immigrants from the Dominican Republic (82 percent), Mexico and Guatemala (tied at 75 percent).

There are 115,000 janitors with college degrees, along with 83,000 bartenders, 80,000 heavy-duty truck drivers, and 323,000 waiters and waitresses.

You want to check out books from your local library, you must show an ID and a local address to prove you are a resident of the county, BUT you don't have to show an ID, proving you are a citizen of the USA, to vote for the president of the USA.

The federal government proudly announces it is distributing the greatest number of food stamps ever!

The President says, "you know there are plenty of patriotic, successful Americans all across the country"; but he's just not one of them!

Your President at the seventh annual Group of 20 summit, and while surrounded by twenty other world leaders, was chewing gum the entire time. No manners and no respect!

When those on the left consider it a negative for Romney because he never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot, did not associate with communists or terrorists, nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the US.

Your President has not had one original idea come from his mouth - it's all the same kind of old warmed-over Marxism that has failed over and over again for 100 years.

Your President left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And his associations include the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as the President's "spiritual mentor"; and a real-life, actual terrorist who served as the President's colleague and political sponsor.

2012 looks like 1978-- then we had high gasoline prices, problems with Iran, and an incompetent one term President; today we have high gasoline prices, problems with Iran, and praying our incompetent President is only one term.

The President and the media blame oil companies for gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a most major oil companies is less than half that of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

Your incumbent President gets reelected, look at the four years worth of mess he's going to inherit!

I can respect someone who I do not agree with, but I have NO respect for someone who puts others down in a public forum. That is the hallmark of someone who has no integrity, and cannot be trusted.

Most of those are spot-on. A few others... not so much. The raw milk one, for example. I mean, really? Does the author of that piece even consider the dangers of unpasteurized milk? E. coli, salmonella, listeria... People who consume raw milk are more likely to be hospitalized because of it. Why not just go shove your face in a warm cow pie?

I was about 8 yrs old before I drank milk that didn't come straight from the source. I survived.

The 21st century. The age of Smart phones and Stupid people.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Yeppers. I got stung by a wasp on the top of my head when I was about 10 yrs old and that's exactly hon Grandma got the stinger out, plopped cow shit on the top of my head. told me I was lucky it didn't sting me on the nose.

Ah! So that's what happened to your hair! Rock I thought of that verse too.

Good men sleep peaceably in their beds at night because
rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

I can assure that my colleagues in CPS remove kids from the homes of those who inappropriately discipline their children and from those who are filthy drug addicts, as long as someone makes them aware of the children in either circumstance.

The problem is that people who use corporal punishment to keep their kids in line also expose those children to the very people who are most likely to report the bruises to us: teachers, doctors, nurses and relatives.

Drug addicts are frequently cut off from the people who are most likely to call CPS, due to their lifestyles. We catch their babies at the hospital right after their births, if we are lucky.

The parents who only have anger issues are also the ones who are most likely to get their children back, because they love their children, they are usually overwhelmed by circumstances and just need someone to talk to. They love their kids and their use of physical discipline is due to their fears of what can happen to their children in a dangerous world. Junkies/crackheads don't care that much about their kids.

Your President denies being a member of the socialist New Party, when a member roster of the Chicago chapter of the party lists him joining on Jan. 11, 1996.

Your President claims his father got to study in the U.S. thanks to JFK's efforts to bring "young Africans over to America," when in fact the Kenyan airlift his father participated in occurred in 1959 under Ike.

Your President claims his parents decided to marry in the excitement of the Selma civil-rights march of 1965 — and that he personally has "a claim on Selma" — when in fact they were married several years earlier.

Your President claims his father "fought when he got back to Kenya against tribalism and nepotism, but ultimately was blackballed from the government," when in fact he fought against capitalism and lost his job when he advocated communism.

Your President believes the government will do a better job of spending the money you earn than you would.

Your President believes that people who can't tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if you don't start driving a Prius.

Your leftist political party believes that business should not be allowed to keep profits for themselves; but should give money above break even to the government for redistribution as they see fit. [Following the Communist agenda]

Your President believes oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn't.

Your government requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen.

Those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.

In just three days you learned more about James Holmes than you know about the President of the U.S.

Nearly 500,000 federal employees now make at least $100,000 a year.
